I'd be interested in hearing the wav file you recorded, Dave But bear in mind that your comment that it's not coming from either repeater could easily be wrong. As a matter of fact, if you're running a delay in the audio path of either repeater, one of them is most definately involved. It sounds like a typical spur/mix/intermod issue to me, probably involving a 3rd party.
Anyway, let's have a listen. Ken At 02:55 PM 4/21/2006 -0000, you wrote: > > >Two VHF repeaters in town have been bothered by this from time to >time..
